Sun Chemical to be Featured on the History Channel

PARSIPPANY, N.J.—Sun Chemical, manufacturer of inks and organic pigments, will be featured on an upcoming episode of the History Channel’s “Modern Marvels” series on the history and usage of ink. The one-hour episode visits two Sun Chemical manufacturing locations and several of its printing customers. The show is scheduled to air Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 10 p.m. EST.

“Sun Chemical has been manufacturing ink [for] nearly 200 years, and we are pleased that the History Channel recognized our innovations and contributions to the development of the industry,” says Brad Schrader, chief marketing officer.

The History Channel describes the show as follows: “Invented by the Chinese in about 2500BC, it spread the word of God and war. It set us free and spelled out our rights. It tells stories, sells products and solves crimes. It’s ink and it’s everywhere! From squid to soybeans, from ancient text to awesome tattoos, join us as we dip into the well for the scoop on ink.”
